    Working all day, when do I see my tegu?

    cocoa shell

    Hey Boozer. I rarely get to the forums these days but just saw your dissapointed post so I looked for this one. Years ago I tried cocoa shells once--for a few days. People often use them in rose gardens, so I thought, why not?. All I can say is that they are awful--they molded up within a...
